There are questions about the timing of this incident with drug testing coming in...always a murky topic... one which Tiger would do well to silence by what might be seen as "out of season" testing right now.

There are always those that don't need any proof to start speculating before propagating malicious rumours. Its the same reason why they always root for the underdog - because they are the underdogs. They do not try to get better at whatever their endevour with any real conviction but when facing someone with that conviction they have nothing but a cold hate.

Of course it doesn't help matters that he is black. It's a double whammy. It particularly denotes the mild underhanded racism that occurs within the USA - basically it is an appeal to a stereotype - that because he is black he must be doing something illegal because blacks are all criminals in the mind of many white americans.
